Answer:

Magnitude = 4.056 m

Direction = 42.3⁰

Explanation:

The vector is resolved in terms of the vertical and horizontal components. Let's look each of these separately.

The vector 4.40 is directed East. This automatically becomes a horizontal component.

But we know that there is a vector 3.40 North West. The angle the vector makes with the horizontal is 61⁰.

Resolving the vectors should yield the horizontal and vertical components:

Horizontal components

The first component is 4.40 m

The second one is derived by resolving 3.40 to the horizontal like this 3.40 × - cos 61⁰ = -1.648 m

Adding the horizontal component gives 4.40 m + ( -1.648 m) = 2.752 m

Vertical components

Resolve 3.40 with the angle 61⁰ like this: vertical comp = 3.41 × sin 61

                                                                                           = 2.98 m

The magnitude is given by √[(2.98)²+ (2.752)²] = 4.056 m Ans

The direction us given by tan⁻¹ (2.98/2.752) = 42.3⁰ Ans

While walking along the shore of a lake Travis felt a cold breeze. What type of heat energy transfer is this an example of?
AfilCa [17]
Out of the 3 types of heat transfer, this scenario would be most likely to be an example of convection.

Convection is where the transferring of heat is resulted through the movements of fluid, but in this case it is air. What happens is that when a part of the whole mass of air is heated, the hotter air rises and the cooler air descends and takes place of the hotter air before it was heated. Then, the cooler air becomes hotter and the hotter air before becomes the cooler air of both, which then results to the repeat of the exchange of places. This creates a motion until the whole mass has achieved mutual temperature, the heat source has stopped or extinguished, or there is a shift of temperature.

Plsssss asappppppppp
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

20 meters.

Explanation:

In the graph, the x-axis (the horizontal axis) represents the time, while the y-axis (the vertical axis) represents the distance.

If we want to find the distance covered in the first T seconds, you need to find the value T in the horizontal axis.

Once you find it, we draw a vertical line, in the point where this vertical line touches the graph, we now draw a horizontal line. This horizontal line will intersect the y-axis in a given value. That value is the total distance travelled by the time T.

In this case, we want to find the total distance that David ran in the first 4 seconds.

Then we need to find the value 4 seconds in the horizontal axis. Now we perform the above steps, and we will find that the correspondent y-value is 20.

This means that in the first 4 seconds, David ran a distance of 20 meters.
